Henry Winkler was born on October 30 , 1945 in New York City, New York. He said that he was never the smartest person in school, in fact he said that he had trouble with school but with his passion for acting he was able to get a career in acting industry. He graduated from Yale School of Drama in 1970. What really set off his care though is his role as the greaser mechanic The Fonz on Happy Days during 1970`s. His character was only suppose to be a minor character but his fans loved him so much and his bad boy image that he became one of the main characters. If you’re a minor character and fans want your to be a main character than your must be doing something right. Since then he has played many roles in multiple other films and on television shows. Henry has a wife named Stacey Weitzman and 3 children.. It was really cool meeting Henry Winkler in real life, his message at we day was very inspiring. I really admire him for not letting his grades get the better of him. Your grades really don’t define your as he said.
